FARADAY, Michael (1791-1867), Scientist. Autograph letter signed ("M Faraday"), to John William Parker, Ramsgate, "Wednesday Mg.," [26 September 1826]. 1 page, 4to, repaired hole affecting part of close, otherwise fine.
FARADAY ON "ELECTRO MAGNETIC MOTIONS." Michael Faraday, one of the greatest scientific minds of the 19th century, writes of his concern about information on electromagnetic motion that more than likely was to be included in his book History of the Progress of Electro-Magnetism. Faraday writes, "I have not yet seen the sheets of the Miscellania and am anxious about them. I hope you got a description of 2 apparatus for Electro Magnetic motions from me. They were to go into the Miscellania. Probably you will have sent off the sheets before this reaches you but if not or if you think they need not come to me, take all possible care of the sense for my writing is not plain and pray write to me here that I may know to a certainty how things are arranged." Faraday's interest in electromagnetic energy inspired him to write History of the Progress of Electro-Magnetism, which was published in this year. In 1831, he made a major breakthrough when he discovered electromagnetic induction. In later years, Faraday established laws of electrolysis and made further advances in the knowledge of magnetic fields.
